The ant prophet is actually a lot more badass then you think, because the starting commander prophetshapes into a Myrmec Prince.  You can, with a decent bless, solo expand with your ant prophet. And with your awake pretender. And have your 40 leadership scout lead your starting army. Swarmhive's expansion game is insane.

PurpleXVI posted:Because if JBBM adopted something like that, it might be possible to bring the popkills back into the normal rotation more often, without ruining anyone's fun. JBBM does actually do this, at least on a smaller scale. If you have growth >= 1, neutral or positive dominion and you're not a popkill nation then 0 pop provinces will become 100 pop provinces, allowing you to at least put some PD in to resist scout captures.

my dad posted:Random trivia of the day: There is a number of players who absolutely cannot restrain themselves from attacking a province if their scout reports no PD in it, no matter how suicidally stupid that idea is in the overall political/strategic picture. The same thing is true of unforted temples, at least when you're already at war. Plopping down a temple a few provinces ahead of the enemy advance is a great way to make sure they attack the province you want so you can intercept them properly.

Boots of quickness are good actually! They give like +12 map move, and doubled aging for one turn isn't a big deal. Still worse then the nature version, but quite serviceable nonetheless.

Unless they're mages, spies don't get the magic graphs, only provinces/army size/income. Income is pretty much a function of provinces, which are visible with just plain scouts, so this doesn't give them that much real information. It's often not really worth the turns to try and patrol out a spy imo, even if you will also probably catch a bunch of random scouts along the way.

PurpleXVI posted:Generally I always end up parking my scouts, depending on number and how many I have, on thrones if nothing else pops up. It helps tell who's taken what throne, and where it is, and also occasionally lets you know about hilarious losses people have taken while getting owned by throne guardians. It is also funny when they waste the mage turns of people trying to mind hunt clear thrones by getting their brains popped. Or better yet popping the brains of the would-be mind hunter, if they're starchildren or some other stealthy S mage.

Ardeem posted:The answer is probably "No, it's just like that because Dominion spagetti code" but if the spell can only be cast in the World Government Cap, and the Cap can only generate on dry land... is there way to make the province count as under water during the magic phase? There aren't any spells to water or underwater provinces, no. This is a map limitation more then anything else: the map image can't be dynamically changed to accommodate new terrain even with the default map generator, let alone with a custom map where all the water provinces are salad or piss or something.

Dominion also acts as a tie-breaker for the win if multiple people are tied for the number of ascension points required to win. There are also sites that only give dominion graphs, so you can use them as a ghetto proxy for income and fort graphs on nations with sacred mages.

Ramc posted:the only moral AP weapon mod sacreds are my AP weapon mod sacreds (in guanghan) Yeah the AP rabbits are pretty well balanced. They are still insanely murdery, but about on the same level as a vanhere, while being squishier. PurpleXVI posted:Personally if I was expecting to bring my god to battle against a nation with any recruitable astral, I'd want at least S6 or S7. At S4 it's still like a 30% chance that any given cheap S1 casting Magic Duel pops your god like a cheap balloon, because it's not a bell curved roll, just 1d6+base astral and highest roll wipes out the other one(I forget if a tie wipes out the lower-astral one or blows up both). The Myrmec King is not meant as an SC past year 1, yeah. The point of the strat is to have really strong expansion and then have him hang out in the cap making sacred ant babies and using his big magic for rituals and forging. The propheted Myrmec Prince meanwhile you can be as reckless with as you like because if you get it killed stupidly then you can prophet a queen and unlock the H4 sacred summoning rituals.

You can get gnomes from sites, most notably the Throne of Earth, but they'll sometimes show up as troops from events and can be gift of reasoned into full mages. They're good little dudes but have a bad habit of muting themselves when they cast howl due to tiny hp.
